This document discusses considerations for marketing to consumers in the United States. It covers the opportunities ("the pleasure") such as the large size of the US market and consumer spending. It also discusses challenges ("the pain") like the complexity of dealing with 50 different states and sales taxes. It provides examples of what US consumers love, such as English products and bargains, and what they dislike like incorrect spelling and calendars. Finally, it includes a primer on US-specific holidays and terminology to know for marketing in the country.
